The mechanics, variety and sheer size of Rhinoceros beetles makes them a fascinating subject of interest in design and in general.

These exoskeletons are also so “designed” to be able to carry over 850 times their own weight.

Nocturnal creatures, Rhino beetles generally feed on fermenting fruit and sap and use their variety of horns to fend off competing males.
